You keep jamming 1998 and 2002-3 as if nothing changed.

What actually appears to have happened is that Iraq did disarm as far as WMD is concerned, and Saddam continued to put up a baloney pretense for the purposes of keeping Iran at bay, creating the impression without substance that they still existed. Those of too little wit were inclined to believe his baloney, especially when the Bush administration starting echoing the BS and magnifying it. But it was all BS.

Some people saw that, and some did not.

You clearly were among the latter, and have been erecting palisades of justification ever since.
